There are also many other very good articles there.


I have not read this article but the point remains; you can grow them from seed easy enough but getting them to bloom is another issue, even the Japanese sources will tell you that. If Brent has a different take I will jump on that band wagon, I love Crab Apples.

Edit: Update. I just read Brents article and he does not touch on seed cultivation but focuses on cuttings, air layers and grafts.
